I Murph'd It! Quick Update W/ Pics!http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5704175
Hey Guys! Just wanted to share some pictures of my Crossfit family completing Murph this past weekend. I ended up doing Sunday and Monday! Why? Cause I'm crazy! I can't move today. Like for reals. My body is broken! :) <BR>
Here's what Murph is: <BR>

Hey Guys, <BR>
<BR>
I'm doing something awesome this April 12th. I'm actually pretty proud to announce that I will be completing my first Susan G. Komen Race for The Cure 5K. <BR>
<BR>
I think the biggest reason that I decided to do this is because my grandmother's best friend is aggressively losing her battle to breast cancer. They have the most beautiful relationship too. My grandmother is nearly 80 and Michelle is only in her early 40s. They met at church and bonded instantly through cho...Wed, 5 Mar 2014 09:56:29 ESTUntil Next Time SPhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5632626

Things are happening and my life is super stressful right now! Firstly there's school. I started back in full swing the beginning of this month. I'm roughly completing 1 class a month and I'm literally spending at least 20 hours a week on school work. <BR>
<BR>
Sigh. It'll be worth it in the end right? <BR>

I sobbed this morning. I didn't just shed a tear, or have a short huffy cry, or even a 5 minute weep. I sobbed uncontrollably this morning. Like a child. It's not something I am proud of, I actually contemplated not even sharing the true results of my Whole30 and just lying and saying that I had this tremendous weight loss and I was the happiest girl in the world. But I couldn't make myself lie. Not when I know that several people read my blogs to know how my many attempts to loss weight turn...Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:11:46 ESTTechnology Can Suck It!

You know how I know this?

I can't remember exactly where I got it from, but it's much nicer than "Chill the f**K out!" I think. Plus I love the puzzled looks when people don't exactly know what it means. They give me a look like "I'm not wearing boots", which of course brings me to a fit of giggles, because you know I'm mature like that. It was a busy, busy week for me last week.

You know I read an article that basically said that people can replace one addition with another, I thin...Mon, 26 Dec 2011 22:25:21 ESTWho Says Money Can't Buy Happiness??

WARNING!!! <BR>
This blog will most likely contain a mix of EXTREME emotions and perhaps some VULGARITY as I recap how in the last 7 days I've lost over 100 pounds, got a raise from work, split with my boyfriend, and rekindled a long lost friendship. <BR>

Good Luck reading this one without wanting to slap me!! <BR>

Once upon a time there was this very bright and imaginative and shy young woman who always dreamed. Her mind would fill up with vivid lights and colors and images that she never thought could ever exist. <BR>
